I think Muhammad Saleem is due an extra post too. However, this was all done by hand and checked one (by the same person) so although I can say I didn't scrape Search Engine Land I think I have to admit a few errors are likely!Andrew Girdwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09402619137250257058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-84626719264888450292007-11-13T11:36:00.000Z2007-11-13T11:36:00.000ZI like that.. <BR/><BR/>Cool idea.. <BR/><BR/>Checked some of figures and mine was a bit off lol..<BR/><BR/>Could write a scraper for this hmmmm...<BR/><BR/>Nice work..gabswww.seohome.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-1184935251444434262007-11-13T10:55:00.000Z2007-11-13T10:55:00.000ZMatt, not really.<BR/><BR/>Typically, Danny and I both work on the sources including in the cap.<BR/><BR/>I suspect if Danny goes solo, or if I go solo, there will be less sources cited in the cap --- simply because there is just one person looking.rustybrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028962968799858833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-2944404658677151502007-11-13T09:23:00.000Z2007-11-13T09:23:00.000ZGreat!

Fascinating, Andrew. My compliments...<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for interesting information, you might break down the references by author. I believe Danny and Barry write very different SearchCaps in terms of how many links they include, what sites they reference, etc.Matt McGeehttp://www.smallbusinesssem.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-6527341353056769822007-11-12T23:51:00.000Z2007-11-12T23:51:00.000ZYou really should link to all the blogs so people can see your post on their reputation monitors.<BR/><BR/>Good list.Patrick Altofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05120791833383365400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-56066251276772931452007-11-12T22:49:00.000Z2007-11-12T22:49:00.000ZIf I could think of a business case for a really deep study - sure, easy. I'll get some minds on to it.<BR/><BR/>I doubt that such a level could be done, though.<BR/><BR/>However, in the future I think I could look at a month (rather than three) and include all SEL stories. I'd be able to compare that month to one of the three I've logged here.<BR/><BR/>Nothing's impossible but I just have to bare in mind that this blog is a favourite hobby not something that pages the wages.<BR/><BR/>Based on the trends I have in my spreadsheets I would predict that SER punches high in every weight you care to measure! <BR/><BR/>It would certainly be interesting to see what percentage of citations blogs managed to have. SER would get between 2% and 10% per day which would compare to SEW's 0.5% and 7%, for example (made up figures, not checked!). I suppose that's a good way to measure the influence/impact of individual blogs!Andrew Girdwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09402619137250257058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-41809690092463414232007-11-12T22:42:00.000Z2007-11-12T22:42:00.000ZIs it something you can do in the future? If not, I understand... a ton of work... Just so curious, on a % of posts per blog, as a ratio of the citations at SEL's cap.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I am biased.rustybrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028962968799858833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-47797676402756148292007-11-12T22:23:00.000Z2007-11-12T22:23:00.000ZI didn't look at the SEL stories (oh! so much data!) but I can tell you that the average citations per day is 40.8.<BR/><BR/>Search Engine Roundtable is rare in that it sometimes gets more than 4 citations.Andrew Girdwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09402619137250257058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-61670794226439325432007-11-12T22:16:00.000Z2007-11-12T22:16:00.000ZIt would also be interested in seeing of those sites, which site gets cited more often outside the cap and in real SEL stories...<BR/><BR/>Also, looking at the number of posts per day (on average) from the sites that are included in the cap, would be interested.<BR/><BR/>I.e. SER posts on average over ten stories a day, compared with SEOmoz which posts maybe one or two. So being cited more often is cool, but of the number of posts, which site is more likely to get cited...
